Glen Ellen Farms is the organization in the previously mentioned article.

I found them by way of Blue Horse Charities, an interesting group who’s goal is to “keep all thoroughbreds out of the hands of killer buyers”.

Check out the “Who We Help” page for a list of rescue organization that they help… go donate, go local!

Story of a race horse rescuer with little support… highlights some of the ugliness of the sport.

It would be great to get outfits like this one the type of media attention that the Barbaro foundation is getting.

Even better, it would be great if the Barbaro foundation could funnel a percentage of it’s donations to lesser known outfits!

Given that the Lexington exacta paid $1002, next year I may do more exacta boxing on longshots early in the 3 year old season… or maybe I’ll try it for the 2 year olds later on this year.

$1002 for a $2 exacta!!
